    Found myself in situation#3, lived 2 hours away, but he told me he didn't have a girlfriend, loved me, although we met up every month-few months or so. Showed up at his house one day while him and his girlfriend were pulling in the driveway. It was awful and the most traumatizing thing I've ever been through.

    I met a guy on a dating app in July. Had surgery and moved and did not meet him. Been talking and texting him. We plan to meet when I visit Cleveland in November, the soonest I can visit with work. He is a busy Dr and will likely only be in Cleveland for less than two years. I moved to Florida. Obviously I'd like more time getting to know him. At times it's been hard. I really like him. I think he likes me too ftlm his words and actions. I want to meet him but I also have myself a deadline that if he doesn't put forth enough energy in getting to know me more than I'll move on. If he does then I will see him. Actions always speak louder than words.

    So helpful! Currently in a "pen pal" connection with someone I met at work. We worked together off and on for the past 2 years and were individually in committed relationships. Mine ended, his ended. Since COVID lockdown both socially and professionally, I've seen him TWICE in a year! First time was at his house for lunch and he came on really strong. Whoa! I wasn't ready for that although I'm attracted to him on multiple levels. Saw him again at my house for some help I needed and he kissed me sweetly before leaving. Now, pen pals. This video was really helpful though in helping me understand what's going on and manage my boundaries and expectations. Thank you!

    First, Spain looks really good on you, Ryan. Second, thank you for making this video. It's a great reminder, with some new information, for me to keep in mind. The last year of trying to date hasn't been fun. I may take another break. I'm working and going to school, so I have even less interest in wasting time with men. I keep running into them moving too fast or not at all. There hasn't been a middle ground, so I've slowed down my activity.

    Currently in a #1 & 3 mix bc of long distance he’s a genuine guy I met thru his sister on Insta. Neither of us are necessarily looking or on dating apps but are open minded and it’s been 6 months since we first connected. Long distance from Michigan to Los Angeles. BUT I have a lot of friends in LA and SD and got into the San Diego circus school so hoping we can turn that into a #4 with the open mindedness and independence we both have. We’re both prioritizing career development at the moment and self growth so when we do come together hopefully that bond will strengthen in person since 2 hrs away is a whole lot closer than over 1000

    I love the on location video, you're looking great! For me, it's mostly number one and number three and I think that's because of my visual impairment. It's hard for people to invest in someone with a disability so I have a lot of male friends who keep me in the friend zone and I have someone long distance right now. It's very frustrating but I'm not sure how much more I can do since I have to go really slow to figure everything out since I don't see very well. :-(

    A blend of friends/pen pals, as we were able to meet up recently. Really wonderful guy! No signs that he was interested romantically, so though it took me a week to cool my jets and scale back from being a smothering tryhard, I'm okay with that. I could see partners in crime happening in time, but I'm quasi-waiting to see if he shows interest first before deleting any e-dating sites.

    I am in #4 with a guy for 1 year and 4 months now. We don't talk about feelings🙄 He is giving hints and trying to see my reactions and response. He is a talker and a dreamer, I just listen and observe and let him initiate and take actions. Things are easy within the relationship no conflict no drama no projection but I difinitely I have been having anxieties that really affected me that really led me to work more about myself and about how to deal with this connection. I am trying to overcome these now and just watch how things unfold. I am not in a rush anyway and I have my own personal goals too. We are in our early 40's so I think we are in the stage of our lives that we carefully evaluating things before making major decisions in life. I just want to enjoy this process of discovering and be contented of what we have.

    I see what you mean about those kinds of pen pals. But if you already have an existing in-person relationship with someone, writing letters is awesome. It makes going to the mailbox exciting, and you can talk about the most personal things and have the time and space to explain things -and learn about his day to day life as well.

      As you may know, Maddison, I'm not a fan of long distance flings/relationships at all. We tend to be more open-minded and do and say things we wouldn't normally do at home when we're traveling. It's higher adrenaline and higher octane across the board. Although you two had a "great time," you two will be chipping away at that quickly through all of the *extra effort you'll both have to put in* to make it work. You may find it becomes much easier to let that connection form to someone who's closer to you, IMHO. But, if you both want to try it out, make sure you both visit each other equally, and not one doing all of the traveling, okay? 😉

Any type of relationship is for woman hurting doesn't matter that she say or think - It's okay. Because women are always emotionally attached. And acceptance anything less where is intimicy like in official relationship is hurting her feelings and value. Some women say that no, but they realise it late.🤷🏻‍♀️

  • @lynnes1864

    Friends with benefits works better under two conditions 1-it either starts as or grows into an actual, genuine friendship. I'm best friends with mine of 4 years, and it's obvious he cares about me (caring and being love are not the same, but having people who care is awesome). 2-You don't get in each other's way when it comes to dating others and finding someone romantic if that's what you want. And of course you're right about laying out terms. Honesty is important, and so is being specific about expectations.

We had an amazing time each time but he’s in the feeling me out stage because he’s not very affectionate or like flirty.. he came on really strong after our first date and bought flights and tickets for a concert for my birthday in October. We’ve been texting and talking on the phone regularly but this week he didn’t text at all and I replied to his story to which he replied and then I said hi how was your week and he left me on read.. I’m not sure why if everything was going well he all of sudden just went silent.. and we have a concert in a month..
    It’s a little frustrating to not know where his head is at and with me like trying to not chase.. def not where I want to be w him cause I like him

      If it makes you feel good to continue emailing, I might only use this experience as a spring board to propel you to a #4 type connection with a new man. I'm a fan of being forthcoming and clear about what you want with men, so I'd tell this guy your intention of continuing email until something better comes along (again, if it's a confidence booster or puts you in a good state of mind only). If he's gonna make a move, he better do it real soon. Let's shoot for a local, #4-style connection on this next round, Diane, sound good? 🙂

    Hm, I’ve been texting this guy from a dating app, for 2 weeks now almost 3. He hasn’t asked me out on a date yet, but always sends me pics of himself at work etc (just of his face). He Did say he is shy, but I feel like he doesn’t ask much questions about me. He called me few days ago, mainly chatted about himself. He seems nice but still, Should I drop it? Also I’m not going to ask him out.

    I'm a bit confused in my current situation with a guy. First we were meeting on events and after half a year he asked me on a date, everything happening abroad. I stayed abroad and he went back to our home country and we became pen pals for 3 weeks. Then we dated again once and bc we both were abroad for 2 months we went back to being pen pals. Now we're both back but he kind of refuses to meet me (I indirectly suggested to meet), he didn't reply to my message so I stopped texting him.
    Before he stopped texting me, I found out (through a common Telegram group) that his bank account was shut down and since that happened he doesn't want to meet. Still I'm a bit confused bc I don't know if this is the reason why he doesn't want to meet me. Also every time we meet we enjoyed each others company.

    I am literally confused by the guy that I like. We have been friends for over 12 years and recently in the last year I told him how I feel. He acts like he wants to be with me but then shows no effort. I think we might be friends with benefits but we never talked about it. He definitely does not want to commit, but I feel stuck because we have been friends forever. I’m so confused 😐

    You're looking great, Ryan. Vacation seems to agree with you quite well!!
    So.... My dilemma: In 2019, I reconnected with someone that I never should have let go from 1992 (aka: I married the wrong man!!!) During all of this time he's been with a serious mismatch both intellectually and in the looks dept.
    We have wonderful text exchanges as we are alot alike. Trouble is, he chooses to stay with her out of habit.
    SOS! I NEED HELP, RYAN.

    Can you ever move out of friendship back to romance. My guy pulled way up but still allows them kids and me to bind and be together. He says he doesn’t really know what he wants. He says he’s not messing with anyone. But the tinder apps notifications are starting to grow.
    We still talk all the time. But not really deep. I’m not trying to push.

    • @jamescalder5115
      @jamescalder5115 2 года назад +4

      You can but if he is saying "I dont know what I want" that typically means "I dont know what I want but I know its not you" harsh truth... you need to pull away and move on and he will quickly make up his mind.

    • @datingcoachryanpatrick
      @datingcoachryanpatrick  2 года назад +3

      James make a good point, Giavanna. Your friend just gave you the worst wishy-washy signal you can get and it is the indirect way to tell a woman to look elsewhere. I'd scrape off of the situation quickly 👍 Who knows, your cutting ties might jolt him into...well... knowing what he wants now that he's experienced the fear of loss with you, but I wouldn't count on that 😉

      Walk away, G. Wishy-washiness really hurts. It’s particularly sneaky because until confronted - there might appear to be nothing at all wrong. But so far all I hear is he is potentially using you for future child care. You don’t have to push. Stating your position is NOT pushing. Knowing what you want is NOT pushing. It is clarity.

    • @jamescalder5115
      @jamescalder5115 2 года назад +1

      Never text a guy that - if he is interested he will show you... He might simply be busy but if he was actually interested he would show you and messaging him saying "Are you not interested?" "Are we done?" tells him 1 of 2 things.
      1.) He has you
      2.) You are needy so even if he was playing hard to get he is thinking about what he is potentially gonna have to deal with later.
      Nobody wants someone who acts needy. If a guy messaged you that what would you think?

    We have both said what we look for in a relationship only thing I’m a little confused on is he now said he doesn’t want a heavy relationship but is happy to take this slow and see where it goes too
    He also texts me like a guy would who isn’t just after sex ( I can smell them a mile away )
    I’m just not sure if it’s a fwb or he genuinely wants the build up and long term relationship

    • @datingcoachryanpatrick
      @datingcoachryanpatrick  2 года назад +3

      Hi Danielle! His words are quite literally contradicting themselves. He wants to "take this slow and see where it goes" but DOESN'T want a "heavy relationship"?? That's ridiculous. Might be a maturity issue there. He strikes me as the type of guy who's just butter women up for sex so he can bounce out shortly there after. I'd believe him on the *doesn't want a heavy relationship* part. If that's what you're after, you're clearly not going to get it with him 😬

    True. I’ve been begging God how to unlove him after I knew all the truth about other women. I live 2 hours away from him and he is hot and cold and found out he has housemate. It was too late because I already loved him for who and what he is😞😞 So now I have a hard time to unlove him so I chose to love him in a different way like only me and God knows😞😞🙏🙏 Hope one day, I’ll make the toughest decision to block him. He just replied my good morning messages since I always do that every day ever since before we became lovers until now with no label. Sometimes he is sweet but suddenly pulls up😞😞😭

      Yup, no need to keep anything going on Facebook Messenger. I know you're on the young end in terms of age, since we've chatted here in comments before, so just know that as guys get older, they will put in more effort with you if they're worth your time. Some won't. But no reason for you to put in effort when he's no willing to. I'd let this one go 😉
